Please Beware of Telephone Calls from Scammers
Please Beware of Telephone Calls from Scammers
They come in many forms and say they’re from many different companies and sound so believable
But if you get a call from one of these please just hang up the phone
I’ve picked up a laptop from one of my customers today who as fallen for such a scam
I didn’t believe it was true when she rang me
But it’s happened and I’m fixing up her laptop so she’ll be secure again
But you’re the first line of defence and if you allow them to remote into your computer then it doesn’t matter what anti-virus you have
Keep an eye on this website Scamwatch
Also you can report any scam calls you’ve had
The government should be doing more to attempt to stop these cold callers preying on the vulnerable
If you here a gap from when you pick up the phone it’s a call centre so hang up…
If you do let them onto your computer but realise something is not right pull the plug from your router which will cut the internet connection and force them off
I’m always available so if in doubt email or text me 24 hours a day or ring me between 8.00am and 8.00pm
